Question

Hello,

We are in the phase of disabling this feature on windows servers and would like to know if there is any way to disable this option from Powershell or netsh. Not looking for GUI options at all ;)

Thank you for your time.....

It is best to do this in Group Policy.

Hello All,

Thanks JRV, for pointing to the right direction,

If anyone wants to achieve this,

stop the service and disable it.

this can be done with scripting, hope it helps someone. (just in case if this is not controlled by GPO).

powershell -command "Stop-Service dot3svc"
powershell -command "Set-Service -Name dot3svc -StartupType Disabled"

Regards,

V

VGSandz, just remember that disabling that service fully prevents 802.1X from being used on all adapters. The reason why you would want to disable it on a single adapter is to maybe keep it enabled on others (or potentially enable it on others at a later stage), so there is still merit to your question about how to disable it just on a single adapter.
